The Spontaneous Pen, March 2012

I wish to mix a formula that everyone could taste where instantly the heart perceives, the ruthless pursuit of pointless wars are mankind’s senseless waste. -Dale Angel

I wish and blow the dandelion seeds into the breeze. I watch their parachutes carry them into the blue and I remember days of picking fistfuls of dandelion puffballs for my mother. She said they were beautiful and placed them in vases around the house. She always had a way of seeing flowers instead of weeds. -Alicia McCauley

I wish you could see me now! You’d laugh right along with me! You always said I’d be able to laugh at anything and make something funny outta nuthin’! -Laura Hernandez

JUNE READ-AROUND

Join us for our semi-annual read-around, where members are offered the opportunity to read five minutes from their original works on a first-come, first-read basis. Please join us with samples of your writing and of your favorite fare for the refreshment table.

Visitors are welcome and will be offered a chance to read their work if time permits. It usually does, so drop in and sign up for a turn at our open mic.

The public is welcome to get acquainted with two free visits before joining. Annual membership dues are $25. For more information email writersforumprogramchair@gmail.com

Spoken Word Night

Spoken Word night is the third Friday at 7:30. People can just come at 7:30 or a few minutes early and let Nadia, the hostess, know they wish to read. There is no advance sign up and no door fee, although we do gratefully accept donations. We have complimentary wine and coffee available for which we also accept donations. If you have further questions, best would be to give us your number and good times to call, and Nadia can call you back.
